at Fort Sidney in western Nebraska. He months this year was fourteen inches, and he notices that the dew is now quite heavy, where twenty years ago the blankets of his troops after a bivouac were perfectly dry. The same officer was stationed for five years at Camp Douglas in western Arkansas, where record of the rainfall was kept. In 1861 the whole amount for the year was eleven inches, whereas in 1874 the general found it more than double that figure. Fort Sidney is situated in rich farming district, although it is within the limits of what was once des- ignated as desert.
 MT. George 0. Hubert, in the November Forum, gives clear exposition of the state of the finances of the Panama canal. Ac- cording to his figures, the funds reported as available on the 30th of June, 1887, amounted to 145, ,233, ,428 francs. A new loan of 500,- 900 thousand franc bonds WAS offered on the Beth day of July, of which only 258, ,SS7 were taken at 40 francs each. The new loan added to the company's resources 113, ,91O, ,280 francs, and swelIed the indebtedness to 1,6o1, ,811 ,0o0 francs, subject to yearly in- terest of 58, ,145, ,570 francs. The visible re- sources of the comtan are barely sufficient for one years expenses, even taking N. de Lesseps' own "bulletin" statement as author ity for the amount of available funds MT, Hubert adds: stThe concurrent testimony of disinterested scientific men, Europeans and Americans, is that the mass of excavation to be made is even now greater than the com pany's highest estimate for the entire work. !"
 A citizens committee has been investiga- ting the working of prohibition in Des Moines, Iowa. Their report will encourage prohibitionists everywhere. When the law went into force July 4, 1884, there were sixty three licensed saloons, score of drug stores, four breweries and one distillery and numerous illicit places where liquor was sold. Now there is no open selling or mak- ing of liquor. The effect upon crime has been great The number of commitments to the penitentiary for the entire State in the year ending August, 1884, were one in 5,045 of the population; the following year one in 5,026; in 1886, one in 5,419, and in 1887, one 1884, there were 27 persons sent from this county to the penitentiary; in 1885, there were 20; while for the year ending August 31, 1887, only 13. The commitments to the county jail also show marked decrease. The number of indictments by the grand jury gets less every term, while the costs in court expenses have fallen off more than one-half.

CHAIN FUTURES.

Since wheat Boomers" have taken to col lapsing so thoroughly and so disastrously to those who expect to profit by them we have- mt heard so much about the "evils of specu- lation in the necessaries of life" It has long been more than suspected. that dealing in grain futures is not the great evil it used to be thought. And now comes MT. A. 0. Stevens in the Journal of Economic Science and shows that most of the dealing in grain futures is of beneficial character.
 MT. Stevens insists that the larger part of the dealing in grain futures is carried on by merchants engaged legitimately in the grain business, who use this method as a means of protecting themselves from possible loss. For instance, New York miller purchases in September 100, 600 bushels of wheat at Duluth. At the price at which he buys and at the current price of transportation to New York the grain will cost him when landed iu the latter city, say. ninety cents per bushel. Similar wheat is at that time selling in New York at, say, ninety-two cents per bushel, and if the price is maintained he is sure of fair trade. But there is no guarantee of the continuance of this price, and, to insure 01mSel1 against 1OSs, ID6 Inlll6F 1uheQlaIeJy sells for future delivery in New York 100,- GOO bushels of wheat at ninety-two cents. Three or four weeks later on his grain comes to hand and at that time the price of wheat has sunk to eighty-fve cents per bushel. He can either deliver the wheat he has pur- chased, or, if he wishes the wheat for his own use, he can buy 100,0 900 bushels to make good his future sale, and turn the Duluth wheat into his own Touring mill at a cost to himself Of eighty-three cents per bushel. Suppose, on the contrary, that when his grain arrives in New York the price has gone up to ninetY-fve cents per bushel. In that event he can buy 100000 bushels to make good his sale and turns his 100000 bushels of Duluth wheat into his mills at cost to him, after settling differences, of ninety one cents bushel.
 Mir Stevens believes that quite three-ffths of the dealings in futures are of this kind and that they tend to give to the final con- sumers the food they require at the lowest possible cost It is certain that the attempts to''corner" grain have not seriously hurt any body lately except those who ought to be bT7rH

A Mining KxperI,s Story.


 A Cornishman is usually content to let someone else discover the mine, own and op- crate it, he being satisfied with the wages he can get for sinking the shaft or following the knife-blade vein. Their judgment on ore or quarts is nearly invariably correct, and the mine owner seldom continues to per- severe after receiving 6 suggestion from them that it is of no use
 The only deviation from these characteris- tics that MT. Best could recall was in the ease of three young men from Cornwall who came out several years ago with ambition and energy enough to make several fortunes. They prospected considerably in various DOT tions of the State without success, and fnal- ly went to work for MT. Best in one of his Gnpin county mines. Like all Cornishmen they were good miners, worked hard and saved money. After little while, however, they quit working in the mines and went to prospecting again. The life of prospector IS not very encouraging one, but the three brothers seemed never to grow weary of it. Keeping up their spirits with the hope of sometime finding a fortune. They would bring in samples occasionally that would as- say well, but nothing more would be heard of the discovery. One day they came in af-
 
 quiries about the ownership of an abandoned shaft three miles northwest of Central City They found the owner and he was willing to sell or lease the property on shares. He had sunk more money in it than he could afford to, and had reluctantly concluded that the best thing to do was to dispose of it or leave it alone. He could not sell worthless mine and so the property was abandoned. In the West these worthless properties are called ''holes in the ground, and they abound in mining countries. The brothers had been down in the abandoned shaft and through it's stopes and drifts. They had sunk. the shaft few feet deeper and suddenly struck the vein the owner had long sought but never found. It was covered up and the shaft par tially flooded by the melting SHOWS The proposition to lease was accepted, the owner to have twenty-five per cent. of the output and the brothers seventy-fve. They had no money to purchase machinery and so the old fashioned Wlndlass was put up, and bucket made out of a half barrel. With this they slowly emptied the shaft of water, and after two weeks steady work were able to go down and open the vein. It proved rich beyond all expectation, and the first month they took out one hundred thousand dollars with out assistance. The strike was soon known all over that section and they had plenty of opportunities to sell their lease Knowing that all mines must "cap" sooner or later, they concluded to take no risks and disposed of their lease interest for two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, leaving them just one hundred thousand dollars each When the sale was consummated three hap pier brothers were never seen. They made no more attempts at mining, but soon started for their old home in Cornwall. The mine was worked by the new company, but the amount paid for it was never realized. It is idle now.

CUT HIS THROAT.
n English Vicar Murdered by his Cur
 ate-A Strange Case.

ate-A Strange Case.
 [F.on the London Times.l
 About midnight on Saturday Oct, 1, a shocking tragedy occurred at Cretingham, village about six miles from Framlingham, Suffolk. The vicar of the parish, the Rev. William Meymott Farley, was murdered by his curate, the Rev. Arthur Edgar Gilbert Cooper. For some time past the vicar, who was B years of age, had been in bad health, and about twelve months ago he engaged the curate mentioned to take entire charge of the parochial work. The latter lived at the vicarage with Mr. and Mrs. Farley, the only other inmates of the house being groom and the maid servant.
 On Saturday MT. Farley kept his bed all day, and the eurate also complained of being unwell, stating that he had been unable to sleep. There was nothing in his conduct, however, to arouse suspicion, and about 10 o'clock at night he read prayers es usual. Two hours later, when the vicar and his wife had fallen asleep, the curate knocked at the bedroom door, Mrs. Farley was aroused and in reply to her question Cooper said he ted to see the vicar. The curate was wearing only dressing gown, and he opensd the door with the intention of entering the room. Mrs. Farley pushed him out and locked the door, but MT. Farley called out to her, "Poor fellow, let him in and see what he wants" The door was then opened.
 The curate came in and walked round to the bed where MT. Farley was lying. Very few words passed between them. Being again ordered out by Mrs. Farley, the eurate went away, and the vicar then called out, ''He has cut my throat" Directly after ward the unfortunate clergyman, who was a very stout man, rolled heavily on the floor, and there died within few minutes, his throat having been cut from ear to ear.
 In the meantime Cooper had gone into his own bedroom, which adjoined the vicar's, and was heard moaning and sigh ing Mrs. Farley's cries aroused the groom, who got up and went for Dr. Jones of Framlingham, without knowing what had actually happened. While he was away Cooper dressed himself in his usual clerical attire and left the house. About , o'clock in the morning the curate returned and knocked at the front door, which was opened by a village policeman. He said that he wanted to go upstairs, and the policeman al- lowed him to do so, but then took him into custody, and he was subsequently removed to Framlingham police station.

My friend let us reason together. Perhaps you are prejudiced against Doctors and medicines, and you may have good cause to be so. Probably you have tried about all the ''sure cures'' you could hear of, You may have taken medicines by the gallon, and had many prescriptions filled at the drug stores. No doubt you feel discouraged and think you can never be well again. In this you may be mistaken. Undoubtedly you have heard of the large number of cures have made in this city. The majority of these people when they came to see me felt just as you do. and now they are well. Then why not come in and have little talk with mes It will cost you nothing, and it may be to your advantage to know your true condition and perhaps can show you. have many others, how you may regain your health.
